Possible Causes

Clogged internal drain port, Frozen drain line, Misaligned drain hose, Excessive frost causing meltwater overflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Disconnect power before working inside the cabinet. Use towels to protect flooring.

  • Step 1 – Clear drain opening: Remove the ice bin and locate the drain hole. Flush with warm (not boiling) water to melt ice and clear debris.
  • Step 2 – Check drain hose routing: Ensure the internal hose slopes downward without kinks. Adjust clamps and routing as needed.
  • Step 3 – Defrost frozen drain: If the drain line is frozen, leave the unit off with the door open and place towels to catch meltwater. Do not use sharp tools to chip ice.
  • Step 4 – Inspect for recurring frost: Excess frost may indicate a door gasket leak or frequent door openings. Repair gasket issues to prevent re-freezing.

After clearing, pour a cup of water into the bin area and confirm it drains quickly.
